INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY The Target Company is a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC on 2 May 2013. The principal business of the Target Company is property investment, general management and agency. The principal asset of the Target Company is the Mall. The Mall comprises the whole of Zones A & B of a 4-storey shopping mall built over one level of basement commercial space and having a total site area of approximately 38,500 square metres and total registered gross floor area of approximately 125,200 square metres. The Mall is situated at No. 36 Mian Fang West Road, Zhongyuan District, Zhengzhou Shi, Henan Province, the PRC. Most of the commercial space of the Mall had been leased out as retail shop, restaurant, entertainment and/or leisure use for investment purposes. In spite of its high rent out rate as at 31 October 2014, the Mall was still under trial run since its opening at the end of 2012. As at 31 October 2014, its renovation work had not been fully completed but in progress and two innovative elevators were to be set up for easing customer flow inside the Mall. The Mall is expected to be fully opened in the first half year of 2015. The Mall is a diverse shopping mall in Zhengzhou Shi and part of the Mall is grandly opened at the end of 2012. The Mall is located at the western part of the heart of Zhengzhou Shi and offers a wide range of services including shopping, dining and entertainment with over 180 shops, including: a cinema, jewellery and watches, beauty, electrical appliances, international labels for fashion, lifestyle, casual wear/sport, kid’s paradise and food and beverages outlets. For the 18 months ended 31 October 2014 since its incorporation, the unaudited net profit before and after tax of the Target Company amounted to approximately RMB4,175,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$5,285,000) and RMB2,458,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,111,000) respectively. As at 31 October 2014, the unaudited net assets of the Target Company were approximately RMB22,458,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$28,428,000). –8– LETTER FROM THE BOARD POSSIBLE FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION Upon the completion of the Acquisition, the Target Company will become a subsidiary of the Group and its financial statements will be consolidated to those of the Group. As set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming the Acquisition has been completed on 30 June 2014, the consolidated total assets of the Group would be increased from approximately RMB979,308,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,239,631,000) to RMB2,313,164,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$2,928,056,000). The consolidated total liabilities of the Group would be increased from approximately RMB128,526,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$162,691,000) to approximately RMB1,308,447,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,656,262,000). The increase of the consolidated total liabilities is primarily due to the consolidation of the liabilities of the Target Company with that of the Group and the accrual for the consideration of RMB591,660,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$748,937,000) payable to the Vendors. As a result, the consolidated net assets of the Group would increase from approximately RMB850,783,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,076,940,000) to RMB1,004,717,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,271,794,000). Taking into account the synergy potential of the Acquisition, the Acquisition is expected to broaden the revenue and earning base of the Group in future. REASONS FOR AND THE BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in the dyeing process of grey fabrics, trading of textile materials and property operating. The Group tried to diversify its operations into different businesses during the year ended 30 June 2014 and also subsequent to the reporting period. Therefore resources have been placed into property operating aspects in order to explore future prospects and develop the relevant markets, with a view to magnify the Company’s development potential and the Shareholders’ return. The Directors consider that the Acquisition signifies the first property operating project the Group invested in and the first step of the Group to diversify its business into the property operating business. The Mall will generate a stable and constant stream of income to the Group, which ultimately will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Directors also expect that there will be appreciation of property value in the long term. Moreover, the Directors have explored the possible diversification of the Group’s business to the property operating segment because of the increasing population and consuming power in the PRC and a strong market potential is foreseeable. –9– LETTER FROM THE BOARD The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Acquisition exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the Acquisition under the Sale and Purchase Agreement constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Therefore, the Acquisition is subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. The EGM will be convened for the purpose of considering, and if thought fit, approving the Acquisition. The Acquisition will result in a diversification of the Group’s business to engage in the property operating business in addition to its existing business of dyeing process of grey fabrics and trading of textile materials. The property operating business is a brand-new segment to the Group. Despite that no Controlling Shareholder has a material interest in the Acquisition, in light of a good corporate governance system and to safeguard the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, the Board and the Controlling Shareholders would defer the Acquisition and therefore the diversification of the Group’s business to the property operating segment to the voting of the other Shareholders and all of the Controlling Shareholders and their respective associates will abstain from voting at the EGM. The shareholding of the Controlling Shareholders and their respective associates as at the Latest Practicable Date was set forth below: Number of Shares Percentage Ms. Lin Lin and Jinjie Limited 184,550,000 14.78% Fully Chain Limited 296,740,000 23.77% 83,000,000 6.65% 564,290,000 45.20% Shareholders Ultimate Name Limited Total – 10 – LETTER FROM THE BOARD Among the 184,550,000 Shares, 162,170,000 Shares were held by Jinjie Limited and 22,380,000 Shares were held by Ms. Lin Lin.

RECOMMENDATION The Board considers that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

INDEBTEDNESS Bank borrowings and other borrowings As at 31 December 2014, the Enlarged Group had outstanding borrowings of approximately HK$2,197,542,000, comprising (i) secured and guaranteed bank borrowings of approximately HK$75,949,000; (ii) secured and unguaranteed bank borrowings of approximately HK$917,722,000; (iii) unsecured, unguaranteed and unlisted bonds at face values of HK$25,340,000; (iv) unsecured and guaranteed borrowings from a financial institution of approximately HK$443,038,000; and (v) an amount due to a related company of approximately HK$735,493,000. The amount due is unsecured, interest free and repayable in February 2015. As at 31 December 2014, the Enlarged Group’s secured bank borrowings are wholly repayable within one to ten years and secured by the certain buildings, certain leasehold interest in land, pledged bank deposits and cross guarantee from related companies approximately HK$762,834,000, HK$17,972,000, HK$25,316,000 and HK$506,329,000 respectively. – 12 – APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP Save as disclosed above and otherwise mentioned in this circular and apart from normal trade payables in the normal course of business, none of the members of the Enlarged Group had, as at 31 December 2014, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of this statement of indebtedness prior to the printing of this circular, any outstanding mortgages, charges, debenture, loan capital issued and outstanding or agreed to be issued, bank loan and overdraft or other similar indebtedness, finance leases or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptances or acceptance credits or any guarantee or other material contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities As at 31 December 2014, the Enlarged Group had no material contingent liabilities. 3. WORKING CAPITAL Taking into account the proposed Acquisition, the Enlarged Group’s internal resources, the presently confirmed available banking facilities and in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, the Directors are of the opinion that, the Enlarged Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements that is for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular. 4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE As at the Latest Practicable Date, the interim results of the Group for the period ended 31 December 2014 experienced a decline when compared with the corresponding period in year 2013 due to a number of adverse factors including the slow recovery of the global economy, reduction of demand in both domestic and overseas textile markets and a cautious purchasing approach adopted by downstream customers. Consequently, the reduction of gross sales margin was happened. Save as the above, the Directors were not aware of any material adverse change in the financial position or trading prospects of the Group since 30 June 2014, the date to which the latest audited financial statements of the Company were made up. 5. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES The Enlarged Group has no other material contingent liabilities. The Enlarged Group is not involved in any current material legal proceedings, nor is the Enlarged Group aware of such material legal proceedings. The Group would record any loss contingencies when, based on information then available, it is probable that a loss had been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Group confirms that there has not been any material change in the level of its contingent liabilities since 30 June 2014 up to the Latest Practicable Date. – 13 – APPENDIX I 6. FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS Although moderating performances in the first half year of 2014, the PRC’s economy was still in good shape as a whole. Yet, a slowdown in the PRC’s textile industry was caused by a fall in textile product prices in the second half year of 2014 which was attributable to the slow recovery of the global economy and reduction of demand in both domestic and overseas markets, as well as a fall in textile material prices by the end of 2014 due to the downward cotton price expectations. Downstream customers have adopted a cautious approach to purchasing and a chain reaction has thereby occurred, which in turn affected each upper level of upstream suppliers to place orders to their own previous level of suppliers, and eventually has negatively impacted the sales volume and selling prices of the Group’s textile products and materials, of which, the Group is one of the upstream manufacturers in the textile industry in the PRC. A decrease in the Group’s sales volume of garment fabrics and textile materials accordingly impacted its revenue along with a decline in selling prices of the Group’s garment fabrics and textile materials, as well as its net profit. Since the textile industry in the PRC faces significant challenges and uncertainties in the business environment, the Group’s current strategic plan is to concentrate only on the dying process of grey fabrics. Customers with long term business relationship with the Group and new customers process the dying procedure of their own synthetic and cotton grey fabrics by the Group’s existing state-of-the art dyeing machinery and equipment. In this case, the Group is still able to use its advanced dying technology to maintain its position in the market during the hard time of the textile industry in the PRC. On the other hand, the sales outlets in major cities of the PRC are closed down in order to further limit the Group’s operating expenditures and strategy its future financial plan efficiently. The Group has continuously implemented conservative and stringent cost control policies so as to ensure sufficient working capital by imposing control over operating costs and capital expenditure and strengthening accounts receivable management. The PRC’s macro economy is still considered to be growing fairly steadily. Economic, financial and social reforms covering a wide range of areas will lead the economy and the society towards a more healthy and sustainable development. The PRC government’s focus is on targeted control measures to ensure a moderate to high pace of growth while continuing its economic restructuring. With financial reforms in the banking system, capital markets and public finance such as liberalisation of interest rates and better access to housing finance, a healthy property market will be developed. With improvements done by the PRC government in household registration system, property rights and land title registration system, the interests of the owners of the properties will also be safeguarded. Furthermore, urbanisation has been another focus for the PRC government in setting economic policy and objectives over the past few decades. A comprehensive policy – 14 – APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP framework for urbanisation would narrow rural-urban inequalities and reduce wealth disparities. Consequently, the living standard and consuming power in the PRC, in particular for the urban Chinese population, have kept increasing over the past two decades, especially on the luxurious consumer goods. Recently, easing of one-child policy will also increase demand for consumer products, education and housing. The above reforms and improvements are all important to establish a more sustainable consumption-led economy in the PRC. By leveraging on the Group’s current strategic plan and established strengths, experience and foresight, the Group continues to seize opportunities to meet the needs of dynamic textile markets, explore new market potentials and increase profit margin. The Company intends to manage and operate the property operating segment by the current caliber management and skillful employees of the Target Company. The first key management is Mr. Zhang Hongqiang (張紅強, “Mr. Zhang”), the general manager of the Target Company since March 2014. Before joining the Target Company, Mr. Zhang, aged 40, was the general manager and the vice president of a number of large and famous shopping centres in the PRC from March 2005 to February 2014. The second key management is Mr. Ge Wenhai (葛文海, “Mr. Ge”), the vice general manager of the Target Company since May 2013. Before joining the Target Company, Mr. Ge, aged 42, was the sales manager, the assistant operation manager and the vice general manger of a number of large and famous shopping centres and a property management company, all in the PRC, from May 2006 to May 2013. Looking forward, the Group will maintain to focus on its current textile business by setting up new and modern machinery and enhancing market promotion in both domestic and overseas markets. The Group will also place additional resources to realise growth momentum from the development of property operating market. The Mall is situated in Zhengzhou Shi and with good economic and demographic fundamentals, hence, the Acquisition will be a milestone for the Group to diversify its business operations into property operating market. The business growth of the Group is expected to accelerate and accordingly, the positive outcome will be gradually reflected in the future with full recovery of the worldwide economy.

As at the date of this report, the Target Company is principally engaged in property investment, general management and agency. No statutory financial statements are prepared by the Target Company since the date of incorporation as there is no statutory requirement to do so. For the purpose of this report, the director of the Target Company has prepared the financial statements in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong (the “Underlying Financial Statements”), with no adjustments considered necessary to comply with HKFRSs. DIRECTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY The director of the Target Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial information in order to give a true and fair view. In preparing the financial information that gives a true and fair view, it is fundamental that appropriate accounting policies are selected and applied consistently, and that judgements and estimates made are prudent and reasonable. REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S RESPONSIBILITY For the purpose of this report, we have carried out independent audit procedures on the financial information in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA, and such additional procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA. It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our procedures, on the financial information and to report our opinion thereon. OPINION In our opinion, the financial information gives, for the purpose of this report, a true and fair view of the results and cash flows of the Target Company for the Relevant Period and of the state of affairs of the Target Company as at 31 October 2014. – 17 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY MATERIAL UNCERTAINTY RELATING TO THE GOING CONCERN BASIS Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 2 to the financial information which mentions that the Target Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets as at 31 October 2014 by RMB957,556,198. The conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Target Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As further explained in note 2 to the financial information, the Target Company has obtained the continuing financial supports from the holding companies. The financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the continuing financial supports from the holding companies and the Target Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash inflows from its operating activities. The financial information does not include any adjustments that would result from failure to obtain of the above. We consider that the material uncertainty has been adequately disclosed in the financial information. Yours faithfully, Dominic K.F. Chan & Co.

General The Target Company was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) with limited liability on 2 May 2013. As at the date of this report, the registered office of the Target Company is located at 鄭州市中原區桐柏路178號4號樓801. Its holding companies are Zhengzhou Diyi Textile Company Limited( 鄭 州 第 一 紡 織 有 限 公 司)and Xinjiang Jinfengyuan Cotton Industry Company Limited( 新 疆 金 鋒 源 棉 花 產 業 有 限 公 司). All holding companies were incorporated in the PRC. The financial information are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is also the functional currency of the Target Company, except when otherwise indicated. During the Relevant Period, the Target Company was principally engaged in property investment, general management and agency. 2. Basis of preparation of financial information The Target Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets as at 31 October 2014 by RMB957,556,198. This condition indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Target Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless, the sole director of the Target Company is of the opinion that the Target Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due for the next twelve months from 31 October 2014 given that: i) both holding companies of the Target Company continuously provides financial supports to the Target Company prior to the completion of the Acquisition; and ii) both holding companies of the Target Company and Art Textile Technology International Company Limited have agreed to provide financial supports to the Target Company upon the completion of the Acquisition. Accordingly, the sole director of the Target Company is of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare the financial information on a going concern basis. – 23 – APPENDIX II 3. FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY Application of new and revised hong kong financial reporting standards (“HKFRSs”) For the purpose of preparing and presentation the financial information for the Relevant Period, the Target Company has applied Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”), HKFRSs and Interpretation (“HK(IFRC) – Int”) issued by the HKICPA which are effective for the financial period beginning on 1 January 2014 and consistently applied throughout the Relevant Period. At the date of this report, the Target Company has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective: HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments4 HKFRSs (Amendments) Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle1 Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle1 Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle2 Mandatory Effective Date of HKFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures5 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture2 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations2 Regulatory Deferral Accounts2 Revenue from Contracts with Customers3 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation2 Agriculture: Bearer Plants2 HKFRSs (Amendments) HKFRSs (Amendments) HKFRSs 9 and 7 (Amendments) HKFRSs 10 and HKAS 28 (Amendments) HKFRS 11 (Amendments) HKFRS 14 HKFRS 15 HKAS 16 and HKAS 38 (Amendments) HKAS 16 and HKAS 41 (Amendments) HKAS 19 (Amendments) HKAS 27 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions1 Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements2 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 5 Effective dates are to be determined – 24 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY The director of the Target Company anticipates that the application of new and revised HKFRSs will not have material impact on the results and the financial position of the Target Company. 4. Significant accounting policies The financial information has been prepared on the historical cost basis, and in accordance with accounting policies set out below which are in conformity with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Target Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the financial information is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 or value in use in HKAS 36. In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows: – Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; – Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and – Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. – 25 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY The principal accounting policies are set out below. Equipment Equipment including equipment held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of equipment less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each relevant period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. An item of equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, and form an integral part of the Target Company’s cash management. – 26 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Target Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Target Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the relevant period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material). When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. Impairment losses At the end of the relevant period, the Target Company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately. – 27 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account the amount of any trade discounts and rebates allowed by the Target Company. Provided that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the revenue transaction will flow to the Target Company and the revenue and the costs, if any, in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised as follows:– Rental income from operating leases is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the user’s benefit. Interest income is accrued on a time basis on the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable. Leasing Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The Group as lessor Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Group as lessee Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, expect where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. – 28 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits Payments to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are charged as expenses when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current tax The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from “profit before tax” as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the relevant period. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. – 29 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Target Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Related parties (a) (b) A person, or a close member of that person’s family, is related to the Target Company if that person: (i) has control or joint control over the Target Company; (ii) has significant influence over the Target Company; or (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Target Company or of a parent of the Target Company; An entity is related to the Target Company if any of the following conditions applies: (i) the entity and the Target Company are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others); (ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member); – 30 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY (iii) both entities are joint ventures of the same third party; (iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity; (v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Target Company or an entity related to the Target Company; (vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a); and (vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity). Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity. Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Financial assets The Target Company’s financial assets are classified as loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. The accounting policies adopted in respect of loans and receivables are set out below. – 31 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY Effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables where the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the relevant period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected. For loans and receivables, objective evidence of impairment could include: • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or • breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest and principal payments; or • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or – 32 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY • the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties. For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Target Company’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade and other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When trade and other receivables are considered uncollectible, they are written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. – 33 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY Financial liabilities and equity instruments Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Target Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Target Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Financial liabilities (including trade and other payables and receipts in advance) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis. Derecognition The Target Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Target Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Target Company continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement and recognises an associated liability. If the Target Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Target Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. – 34 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss. On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety, the Target Company allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts. The Target Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss. 5. Critical accounting judgment and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the Target Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the management are required to make judgment, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. – 35 – APPENDIX II 6.

The management of the Target Company manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner. – 45 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY Market risk Interest rate risk The Target Company’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of the rate determined by the People’s Bank of China arising from the Target Company’s RMB in relation to bank balances. The Target Company currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, management monitors interest rate change exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate change exposure should the need arise. Sensitivity analysis No sensitivity analysis has been presented as the director considers that the impact to profit or loss for the Relevant Period is insignificant, taking into account that the fluctuation in interest rates on bank balances is minimal. Accordingly, no sensitivity analysis is presented. Credit risk At the end of reporting period, the Target Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Target Company due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the statement of financial position. In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Target Company has policies in place to recover overdue debts. In addition, the management of the Target Company reviews the recoverable amount of each receivable at the end of reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management of the Target Company considers that the credit risk is significantly reduced. The Target Company has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties having similar characteristics. – 46 – APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY The credit risk of these liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are either state-owned banks located in the PRC or banks with high credit ratings. Liquidity risk The Target Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets as at 31 October 2014 by RMB957,556,198. The management of the Target Company is of the opinion that the Target Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its financial obligations, details of which are set out in note 2. In the management of the liquidity risk, the Target Company monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Target Company’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The following table details the Target Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Target Company can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of each reporting period.

The figures were extracted from the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2014 as set out in the Company’s published annual report for the year ended 30 June 2014. 2. The figures were extracted from accountant’s report of the Target Company in Appendix II of this Circular, after foreign exchange translation at the exchange rate of HK$1 to RMB0.79 to conform the presentation format of the Group, which is the prevailing exchange rate on 31 October 2014. 3. The pro forma adjustment reflects the allocation of the cost of the Acquisition to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Company, which represents: (a) Fair value adjustment of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Company The fair value of a shopping mall based on directors’ estimation with reference to Valuation Report in Appendix IV of this Circular is approximately RMB1,780,000,000 (equivalent to HK$2,253,165,000) as at 31 October 2014. An amount of approximately HK$1,013,835,000, being the difference between the fair value of a shopping mall and its cost of approximately HK$1,239,330,000 is adjusted as an increase in fair value. The corresponding deferred tax liability of approximately HK$253,459,000 is recognised based on the People’s Republic of China Enterprise Income Tax rate of 25% for the increase in fair value. The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities (including but not limited to the deposits for the acquisition of a shopping mall) of the Target Company and the amount of goodwill are subject to change upon the finalisation of the valuation for the completion date, which may be substantially different from their estimated amounts used in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma financial information. For the purpose of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information, the directors of the Company have assessed whether the goodwill may be impaired as at 30 June 2014 on a pro forma basis in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 “Impairment of Assets” and concluded that there is no impairment on the goodwill arising from the Acquisition as at 30 June 2014 based on the management’s assessment on the business plan to be executed and the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit comprising the goodwill with reference to Valuation Report in Appendix IV of this Circular. The actual amount of impairment of goodwill arising from the Acquisition at the date of completion may be different from that presented above and the difference may be significant. – 55 – APPENDIX III (b) UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP Recognition of goodwill in relation to the Acquisition Cash consideration of approximately HK$748,937,000 is to be paid by the Group for the Acquisition of 75% equity interests in the Target Company, assuming the Acquisition was taken place on 30 June 2014. Goodwill of the Enlarged Group represents the excess of the cost of the Acquisition over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets of the Target Company. The calculation is as follows: As at 31 October 2014 HKD’000 Consideration of the Acquisition 748,937 Less: identifiable net assets acquired (788,804) Add: non-controlling interests 197,201 Goodwill arising from the Acquisition 157,334 The Directors confirm that the basis used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company, and the accounting policies and the principal assumptions will be consistently adopted in the first set of the financial statements of the Company after the completion of the Acquisition. 4. The pro forma adjustment represents the acquisition-related costs incurred by the Group and the total transaction costs, including legal, accounting and other professional parties are approximately HK$2,347,000. 5. Apart from the Acquisition, no other adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Enlarged Group entered into subsequent to 30 June 2014. In particular, the unaudited pro forma financial information has not taken into account the following event: Subsequent to 30 June 2014, the Target Company obtains additional financing through financial institution and bank for the settlement of a shopping mall. One short term loan amounting to RMB200,000,000 (equivalent to HK$253,165,000) and one long term loan amounting to RMB150,000,000 (equivalent to HK$189,873,000) are sourced from a financial institution and two long term loans amounting to RMB350,000,000 (equivalent to HK$443,038,000) and RMB360,000,000 (equivalent to HK$455,696,000) are sourced from a bank. Upon obtaining the loans, the net current liabilities of the Enlarged Group will be decreased by HK$1,088,607,000 with the increase in the same amount of long term loans. Therefore, the situation of net current liabilities would be improved. – 56 – APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP The following is the text of a report from the reporting accountants, Dominic K.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 “Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus” issued by the HKICPA.

Dominic K. F. Chan & Co. Certified Public Accountants (Practising) Hong Kong, 30 January 2015 – 60 – APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT The following is the text of a letter and valuation certificate received from International Valuation Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation as at 31 October 2014 of the Mall. Room 1203A Kai Tak Commercial Building 317-319 Des Voeux Road Central Hong Kong Date: 30 January 2015 The Board of Directors Art Textile Technology International Company Limited Unit 1407, 14/F China Merchants Tower Shun Tak Centre 168-200 Connaught Road Central Hong Kong Dear Sirs, Re: The whole of Zones A & B (including the commercial spaces in between at Basement 1) of a shopping mall located at No. 36 Mian Fang West Road, Zhongyuan District, Zhengzhou Shi, Henan Province, The People’s Republic of China INSTRUCTIONS In accordance with the instructions to us to value the captioned property which is proposed to be acquired by Art Textile Technology International Company Limited or its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the property interests as at 31 October 2014 (the “valuation date”). This letter which forms parts of our valuation report explains the basis and methodology of valuation and clarifies our assumptions made, titleship of property and the limiting conditions. – 61 – APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT PREMISES OF VALUE The valuation is our opinion of market value which is defined by the International Valuation Standards of the International Valuation Standards Council and followed by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”. BASIS OF VALUATION In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and the International Valuation Standards published from time to time by the International Valuation Standards Council. Our valuation excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value or costs of sale and purchase or offset for any associated taxes. Our valuation also excludes potential tax liability which might arise if the assets were to be sold at the valuation date, including but not limited to profit tax, business tax, land appreciation tax, capital gain tax and any other relevant taxes prevailing at the valuation date. CATEGORISATION OF PROPERTY INTERESTS In the course of our valuation, the appraised property interests have been categorised according firstly to type of interests and then country where it is located, which in turn being classified into the below group: – Property interests to be acquired by the Group for investment in the PRC VALUATION METHODOLOGY In the course of our valuation, unless otherwise stated, we have valued the property in its designated uses with the understanding that the property will be used as such (hereafter referred to as “continued uses”). – 62 – APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT The property had been subdivided into various units and most of which had been leased out to various tenants for various lease terms whereas the remaining units were vacant as at the valuation date. We have valued the property interests in its existing state and subject to existing tenancies. In the course of our valuation, we have valued the tenanted units of the property by market approach and employing a combination of investment method and comparison method to find out their respective term and reversion values, which are then cross-checked with available comparable market transactions. In assessing the term value, we have relied on the respective tenancy information provided by the Group and capitalised the monthly rental income payable under the respective tenancy agreements at an adopted term yield. Whilst in assessing the reversion value, sale transaction and asking price of retail comparable properties as available in the market, especially those within subject locality, have been assembled and analysed. Adjustments are made for the differences in location, time, building age, size, level, conditions, pedestrian flow, etc. between the comparable properties and the property. The respective adjusted market values were then discounted for the respective remaining lease term of the tenancies. The discounted values are the reversion value for the respective tenanted units in question. Then we added up the respective term and reversion values. The sum is the market value of the tenanted portions of the property as at the valuation date. The adopted term yield and discount rate reflect the size, quality and market position of the property together with the existing tenant, lease covenants, the then market conditions and costs of borrowing. Regarding the vacant units of the property, we have valued them by market approach and using comparison method with reference to comparables sales evidence and asking price as available in the relevant market subject to suitable adjustments between the property and the comparable properties. The sum of the then market value of the tenanted and vacant portions of the property was the market value of the property in its existing state and subject to existing tenancies as at the valuation date. TITLE INVESTIGATION We have been provided by the Group with copy of extract of the title documents and tenancy agreements relating to the property interests. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interests in the PRC and any tenancy or material encumbrances that might be attached to the property interests or any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. – 63 – APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain any amendment. Due to the current registration system of the PRC under which the registration information is not accessible to the public, no investigation has been made for the title of the property interests in the PRC and the material encumbrances that might be attached. In the course of our valuation, we have relied considerably on the legal opinion given by the Company’s PRC legal adviser – 福建創元律師事務所 (Trend Associates), concerning the validity of property title, tenancy and material encumbrances of the property in the PRC. SITE INVESTIGATION We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the accessible portions of the interior of the property being appraised. However, we have not been commissioned to carry out structural survey nor to arrange for an inspection of the services. We are, therefore, not able to report whether the property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. We formulate our view as to the overall conditions of the property taking into account the general appearance, the apparent standard and age of fixtures and fittings and the existence of utility services. Hence it must be stressed that we have had regard to you with a view as to whether the subject buildings are free from defects or as to the possibility of latent defects which might affect our valuation. In the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services. We have assumed that utility services, such as electricity, telephone, water, etc., are available and free from defect. Moreover, we have assumed that there was not any alteration and addition works being carried out within the property, as at the valuation date. We have not arranged for any investigation to be carried out to determine whether or not high alumina cement concrete or calcium chloride additive or pulverized fly ash, or any other deleterious material has been used in the construction of the property. We are therefore unable to report that the property is free from risk in this respect. For the purpose of this valuation, we have assumed that deleterious material has not been used in the construction of the property. We have not carried out any site investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property development erected or to be erected thereon. Nor did we undertake archaeological, ecological or environmental surveys for the property interests. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period. Should it be discovered that contamination, subsidence or other latent defects exists in the property or on adjoining or neighbouring land or that the property had been or are being put to contaminated use, we reserve right to revise our opinion of value. – 64 – APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT Moreover, we have not been commissioned to carry out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the land or building areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas provided to us are correct. Based on our experience of valuation of similar properties, we consider the assumptions so made to be reasonable. We have also assumed that there was not any material change of the property in between date of our inspection and the valuation date. SOURCE OF INFORMATION Unless otherwise stated, we shall rely to a considerable extent on the information provided to us by you or your legal or other professional advisers, in particular, but not limited to, statutory notices, planning approvals, zoning, easements, tenure, completion date of building, identification of property, particulars of occupation, site areas, floor areas (including the gross floor area and planned gross floor area), matters relating to tenure, tenancies and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are therefore approximations and for reference only. We have not searched original plans, developer brochures and the like to verify them. We have taken every reasonable care to examine the information provided to us and also to make relevant enquiries. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by you, which is material to the valuation. We have also sought confirmation from you that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS For the properties which are held under long term land use rights, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the property interests at nominal land use fees has been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully settled. Unless stated as otherwise, we have assumed that the title owner of the property has an enforceable title of the property interests and have free and uninterrupted rights to occupy, use, sell, lease, charge, mortgage or otherwise dispose of the property without the need of seeking further approval from and paying additional premium to the Government for the unexpired land use term as granted. Unless otherwise stated in the report, vacant possession is assumed for the property concerned. Unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that the design and construction of the subject development and the property are in compliance with the local planning regulations and requirements and had been duly examined and approved by the relevant authorities. – 65 – APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT Continued uses assumes the property will be used for the purposes for which the property is designed and built, or to which it is currently adapted. The valuation on the property in continued uses does not represent the amount that might be realised from piecemeal disposition of the property in the open market. Unless otherwise stated in the report, no environmental impact study has been ordered or made. Full compliance with applicable national, provincial and local environmental regulations and laws is assumed. Moreover, it is assumed that all required licences, consents or other legislative or administrative authority from any local, provincial or national government or private entity or organisation either have been or can be obtained or renewed for any use which the report covers. It is also assumed that all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been complied with unless nonconformity has been stated, defined and considered in the valuation report. In addition, it is assumed that the utilisation of the land and improvements are within the boundaries of the property described and that no encroachment or trespass exists, unless noted in the report. We have not undertaken a survey to determine whether the mechanical and electrical systems within the property (or the building(s) or development(s) in which they are located) will be adversely affected on or after the year 2000 and as such have assumed that the property and those systems were or will be unaffected. No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on any of the property interests valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from alterations, additions, illegal structures, encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect its value. We have further assumed that the property was not transferred or involved in any contentious or non-contentious dispute as at valuation date. The property can be sold freely to both local and overseas purchasers. LIMITING CONDITIONS Where the property is located in a relatively under-developed market, such as the PRC, those assumptions are often based on imperfect market evidence. A range of values may be attributable to the property depending upon the assumptions made. While the valuer has exercised his professional judgement in arriving at the value, investors/report readers are urged to consider carefully the nature of such assumptions that are disclosed in the valuation report and should exercise caution in interpreting the valuation report. – 66 – APPENDIX IV VALUATION REPORT Wherever the content of this report is extracted and translated from the relevant documents supplied in Chinese context and there are discrepancies in wordings, those parts of the original documents will take prevalent.
